Impact of sprouting pretreatment on physicochemical properties and in vitro digestibility of buckwheat milk

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Buckwheat is a strategic raw material for plant‐based milk production due to its gluten‐free nature and rich bioactive profile. However, antinutritional factors and starch structure limit the nutritional quality and technological properties of such beverages.

Variations in carbon flux allocation among cassava (Manihot esculenta) cultivars arise from balanced competition between starch accumulation and structural component development

Communications Biology
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) storage roots exhibit significant variation in starch content among cultivars, yet the metabolic and molecular mechanisms governing carbon allocation between storage and structural components remain poorly understood ...

Interactions between sweetpotato Pushu 32 and soil factors shape starch accumulation, starch pasting, texture of starch and cooked storage roots, and cooked storage roots' sensory quality

Food Chemistry: X
Pushu 32 (P32) is an elite fresh-eating sweetpotato cultivar with prominent quality variation under diverse ecological soils. To clarify the multi-scale drivers of its quality across production areas, storage roots from 12 representative planting ...

Starch Biosynthesis in Rice Endosperm [PDF]

AGri-Bioscience Monographs, 2014
Starches are the most important form of carbohydrates for most organisms on earth. However, the starch structure and biosynthesis mechanisms have not been completely resolved. At least four classes of enzymes catalyze the reactions of starch biosynthesis in plants: starch synthase (SS) elongates α-glucan chains of starch, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Effect of microwave heat-moisture and annealing treatments on buckwheat starch characteristics [PDF]

, 2003
Plan BBuckwheat is a non-glutinous pseudo-cereal that has a long and traditional history as a food source in Asia, Europe, and the United States and has many beneficial health aspects but has suffered from declining production within the past years.

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Plant responses to iron nutrition with emphasis on the underutilized crop tef (Eragrostis tef): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron (Fe) deficiency limits the physical health, cognitive development, and economic output of billions of people globally, especially children and productive‐age women. Tef is an underutilized and stress‐resilient crop, which is becoming popular for its grains containing high bioavailable Fe and has the potential to mitigate Fe deficiency.

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Combined application of Bacillus velezensis JDB15 and Trichoderma harzianum JDL4 suppresses banana Fusarium wilt under controlled conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The surfactin C secreted by JDB15 and the probable parasitism of JDL4 lead to the leakage of intracellular macromolecules and the degradation of hyphae, respectively. Combined application of the two strains effectively controls banana Fusarium wilt under controlled conditions.
